    Strawberry Love Muffins are a Simply Sweet Vegan Treat

    By Alisa Fleming on February 9, 2020 Bread, Breakfast, Dairy-Free Recipes

    They say that the quickest way to a person’s heart is through their stomach, but showing your affection doesn’t need to be difficult. This easy recipe for strawberry love muffins uses a short list of everyday pantry ingredients, and is perfect for a last-minute Valentine’s Day treat. But of course, you can share a batch any time of year. Just bake these vegan strawberry muffins in traditional muffin cups with fresh or frozen strawberries.

    Strawberry Love Muffins are a Simply Sweet Vegan Treat

    My dear friend Hannah first made this Strawberry Love Muffins recipe over a decade ago. It was in her very first cookbook, My Sweet Vegan.

    Vegan Cashew Crème Pear Tart Recipe (also Gluten-Free!) A delicious sample from Sweet Vegan Treats by Hannah Kaminsky.Since that time, Hannah has produced several cookbooks, but she has come full circle with her most recent title. She has re-released My Sweet Vegan under a new name, Sweet Vegan Treats. It has all new photography and some new recipes. But I was glad to see that this vegan strawberry muffins recipe still made the cut.

    Hannah is known for creating daring vegan desserts and unique flavor pairings, but I always felt this recipe better embodied who she is as a person – sweet, unassuming, and someone who appreciates the simple things in life. This is a no frills recipe, made naturally dairy-free and vegan, no substitutions required, that promises to deliver several satisfying bites.

    Special Diet Notes: Vegan Strawberry Muffins

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan / plant-based, and vegetarian. Just be sure to use the non-dairy milk beverage that suits your dietary needs.

    Gluten-free? We haven’t tested these strawberry love muffins without gluten as of yet. If you do give it a whirl, I would ensure that you use good binding ingredients (perhaps a higher starch or almond flour-chia blend with xanthan or guar gum) to keep them from crumbling since the only real binder in this recipe is in fact the gluten in the wheat.

    Foodies will all agree that the quickest way to a person’s heart is through their stomach. Thus, it seems only logical that when Valentine's Day rolls around, something edible must take center stage. While chocolate and candies are obvious considerations, try this romantic treat for healthy departure from such over-the-top indulgence. Of course, regularly shaped muffins work just as well if you lack the necessary equipment, or just want to spread the love all year round. Whatever vessel ends up becoming a home to your blushing batter, these muffins are guaranteed to win hearts.
    Author: Hannah Kaminsky
    Recipe type: Breakfast
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 10 to 12 muffins
    Ingredients
    • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage
    • ¼ cup lemon juice
    • ⅓ cup olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup fresh or frozen and thawed strawberries, sliced
    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and grease 10 to 12 muffin tins, depending on how large you’d like to make them. (Use Heart-Shaped Baking Cups, if desired!)
    2. Begin by mixing together your dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a large bowl. Gently stir in the non-dairy milk, lemon juice, oil, and vanilla, but be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay!
    3. Fold in the strawberries and pour the batter into your prepared muffin tins, filling them about ¾ of the way to the top.
    4. Slide your filled tins into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
    5. Let the muffins sit for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the pan. Enjoy with someone you love.

      I haven’t had much luck baking with strawberries – they seem to lose their color and texture in most baked goods. But maybe this recipe with frozen berries will work better. It’s so enticing, I just wish I had heart-shaped muffin tins to make them extra cute.

      There is something about strawberries that are season-less. They’re so pretty, and are so tasty in recipes, I try to keep a bag of frozen berries on hand for that reason! These are so cute, too. Can’t wait to try them!

        I know, it’s hard to believe they aren’t technically in season yet, since strawberries are all the rage around Valentine’s Day!
